Clanculus

Abstract: All species of the tribe Trochini known to occur in southern Africa are discussed (ten species, one new, belonging to three genera). Observations on external anatomy and radula morphology are given for nine of the ten species. New species: Clanculus natalensis. New synonyms: Polydonta (Infundibulum) concinnum A. Adams, 1855 and Trochus (Infundibulum) baccatus Sowerby, 1889 = Trochus carinifems Beck in Reeve, 1842; Clanculus laceyi Sowerby, 1889 = Clanculus miniatus (Anton, 1838). Lectotypes designated and figured: Clanculus carinatus A. Adams, 1852; Clanculus waltonae Sowerby, 1892; Clanculus mixtus Smith, 1903; Clanculus elevatus Turton, 1932; Clanculus trochiformis Turton, 1932; Polydonta (Infundibulum) concinnum A. Adams, 1855; Trochus nigropunctatus Reeve, 1861; Trochus (Infundibulum) baccatus Sowerby, 1889. Neotypes designated and figured: Trochus cariniferus Beck in Reeve, 1842; Trochus flosculus Fischer, 1878; Trochus miniatus Anton, 1838. Holotypes figured: Clanculus alfredensis Bartsch, 1915; Clanculus atricatena Tomlin, 1921; Clanculus becki Turton, 1932; Clanculus eucosmia Turton, 1932; Clanculus kowiensis Turton, 1932; Clanculus lacey; Sowerby, 1889; Trochus textilis Reeve, 1861. Type locality emended: Monodonta punicea Philippi, 1846. Type localities designated: Trochus cariniferus Beck in Reeve, 1842; Trochus miniatus Anton, 1838. Type species designated: Trochus mauritianus Gmelin, 1791, is designated type species of Pyramidea Swainson, 1840, making the latter an objective synonym of Tectus Montfort, 1810.

Abstract: Twenty-five species of Trochidae from the Sydney metropolitan area are discussed here: Herpetopoma aspersa (Philippi, 1846), Vaceuchelus ampullus (Tale, 1893), Granata imbricata (Lamarck, 1822), Clanculus (Euriclanculus) brunneus A. Adams, 1853. Clanculus (Euriclanculus) floridus Philippi, 1848, Clanculus (Euclanculus) clanguius (Wood, 1828). Clanculus (Mesoclancutus)plebejus Philippi, 1851, Clanculus (isoclanculus) undatoides T. Woods. 1879, Clanculus (Macroclancuius) maugeri Wood, 1828, Austrocochlea concamerata (Wood, 1828).

Adams and Angas, 1863). Phasianofrochus eximius (Perry, 1811). Odontotrochus indistinctus (Wood, 1828), Gena lmpertusa (Burrow, 1815). Calliostorna (Fautor) comptum A. Adams, 1854, Astelena scitula (A. Adams, 1855), Ethminolia probabilis lredale, 1924, Talopena gloriola iredale, 1929, Monil...

Abstract: Trochus (Clanculus) tonnerrei G. & H. Nevill 1874, described from Aden, is shown to be an earlier name for the western Indian Ocean species currently known as Clanculus gennesi Fischer 1901. The latter, plus its synonym Euchelus erythraeensis Sturany 1903, must therefore be relegated to the synonymy of T. tonnerrei. Clanculus gibbonsi Sowerby 1912, is also shown to be a synonym; type material of all the above species is illustrated. Clanculus assabensis Caramagna 1888, may be another synonym, but the type material is not available for confirmation. Radula characters and external anatomy support referral of the species to Clanculus, but subgeneric relations are unclear; it is tentatively placed in Clanculopsis. The radula is very similar to that of members of Clanculus s.s., but the apertural dentition is closer to Clanculopsis. Trochus satrapius von Martens 1874, is not considered conspecific with C. tonnerrei; type material is illustrated for comparison. Lectotypes are designated for Euchelus erythraeens...
